Let me preface this response by saying if you have a Playstation 3, download the demo.  It should be available in all major territories by now. 
  Now as to why Uncharted kicks ass...
  It's a great action-adventure game in the vein of Tomb Raider without the clunky movement or horrible camera.  It's an utterly beautiful game too.  Uncharted has the most realistic wet-clothing I've seen.  (I do not at all mean that in sexual manner.)  The characters (at least those in the demo) are very believable and the voice-actors chosen suit their characters well.  There's also a lot of humor infused into the cutscenes.  Given the PS3 has very few exclusive titles that are a "must-own,"  Uncharted comes highly-praised.
